A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE UNIFORM HIGHER EDUCATION ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR NONPUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Part 3 of Article 1 of Chapter 116 of the General Statutes is amended by adding a new section to read:
"§ 116-40.6. Admission requirements for Article 39 students.
If the transcript of an individual applying for admission to a constituent institution from a school lawfully operating under Article 39 of Chapter 115C of the General Statutes reflects that the applicant has met the Board of Governor's minimum admission requirements, the applicant shall not be required to take additional tests as a condition of application for admission.  This section shall not be construed to preclude the constituent institutions from requiring that applicants from schools lawfully operated under Article 39 of Chapter 115C of the General Statutes take, as a condition of admission, the same college entrance exams that are required of all applicants for admission."
Section 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
